If Volcker was born in 1964, even if it is in December, shouldn't he be 55? Milhistor8 ( talk) 14:01, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
The current RSN consensus is that NNDB is not a reliable source, especially not for WP:BLP articles. I have removed two assertions that were sourced to NNDB:
I found the WaPo article after removing the CIA claim altogether, so I will carefully re-add that assertion and quote "brief stint" from the WaPo article.- Ich ( talk) 21:43, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Kurt D Volker, born 27 December 1964 U.S. Public Records Index, 1950-1993, Volume 2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.192.184 ( talk) 22:20, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Since this appears to accuse a WP:BLP of perjury, I think it needs more robust sourcing and possibly some wordsmithing. Guy ( help!) 11:52, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Is even backed by the actual video of his testimony. [1] JoeScarce ( talk) 13:54, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
In his public testimony, Volker amended his earlier private comments, saying that since then "I have learned many things that I did not know at the time of the events in question." He said he did not realize there was any linkage between the military hold and the request for investigations by Ukraine, and never suggested such a linkage to the Ukraines. He also says he didn’t understand that talk about investigating Burisma was actually intended to target the Bidens. He added, "In retrospect, I should have seen that connection differently, and had I done so, I would have raised my own objections." [6]
